STOP - ETHNIC cleansing in Transnistria

To:  UN Security Council, ONU, Human Rights Organizations, E.U., White House, U.S. Congress

We are deeply concerned about the instable situation in Transnistria, a separatist region of the Moldova Republic, and would like to red flag the ethnic cleansing being carried out by the Tiraspol authorities against the local Romanian population. This program rings very similar to the tactics used by Saddam Hussein against the Kurd and Shiite populations of that region.

Schools that teach Romanian are forcefully raided by police, and children of a local orphanage were thrown into the streets, forced to become homeless children of the night.
We appeal to you, as a part of the international community and international organizations you to intervene in the stabilization of this region, which has suffered these ethnic tensions for more than 14 years. We, people all over the world that share this concern, beg for your stance against hate crimes and ethnic cleansing.
The urgency with which we bring this to your attention is fueled by the fact that these issues can degenerate at any given moment into a bloody conflict, much alike events in Kosovo and even Rwanda.
The gravity of this particular situation is highlighted by the fact that local authorities are acting against orphaned children whose only sin is having Romanian blood running though their veins

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
